I was just wondering whether it would be worth sticking to non-OOP code for the sake of speed. Also, In commercial web-applications, is OOP generally used or avoided? Which is the standard?
Many Thanks,
Ed

The standard is to favor readable code over efficiency, because most of the time “more efficient code” runs faster by a single millisecond. Object-oriented programming is generally more readable than a non-object-oriented counterpart.
